About 324 Area Code

Area code 324 serves Jacksonville and the broader northeast Florida region. Introduced in February 2024 as an overlay for the historic 904 area code, 324 covers the same geographic territory including Jacksonville, Jacksonville Beach, Orange Park, Fernandina Beach and surrounding communities across Duval, St. Johns, Nassau, Clay and Baker counties. The code supports local voice and SMS-capable numbers used by logistics companies, financial services firms, healthcare providers and tourism operators across the growing First Coast region.

The 324 region combines logistics-driven demand (Port of Jacksonville, major interstates), financial services clusters (regional headquarters for banking and insurance), healthcare networks and military presence. Local businesses use 324 numbers for shipment notifications, customer support, appointment reminders and service coordination. A local number improves answer rates because people recognize and trust calls from their own area code, particularly important in a market that brands itself as "America's Logistics Center" with strong regional identity.

FoneSwift lists live 324 inventory and capabilities on this page. Search numbers to see which ones support Voice, SMS and MMS. As a newly introduced area code, 324 availability is currently strong; the overlay shares the same geographic region as 904, so either code provides equivalent local presence for businesses targeting Jacksonville and northeast Florida audiences.

If your business targets Jacksonville or the First Coast region, publish numbers in both local and E.164 formats (e.g., (324) 555-1234 and +1 324 555 1234) and register messaging traffic if you plan A2P campaigns. For porting existing numbers, see our porting guide. Many businesses acquiring new lines choose 324 to establish fresh local presence while maintaining separate tracking for marketing campaigns and customer service operations.

How Does Local 324 Phone Numbers Work?

A local business number is a structured telephone identifier that tells networks where to route calls and messages. When you use a 324 number in Jacksonville and Florida, the digits signal the international gateway, the geographic region, the local exchange and the specific subscriber, so calls reach the right destination quickly and reliably.

The typical parts of a United States local number are:

  • Country code (+1): identifies United States for international routing.
  • Area code (324): directs the call to the Jacksonville / Florida region.
  • Central office / exchange (eg. 555): narrows the call to a local switching area or rate center.
  • Subscriber number (eg. 1234): the unique line assigned to a person, extension, or device.

Example formats:

International Format (E.164)+1 324 555 1234
Local Format (National)(324) 555-1234
